Default Replacing YB cam cover gasket. Which one ?

I need to remove my cam cover to blank off the old breather port that's no longer needed so need to replace the gasket and wanted to know which is the best to buy as I'm sure there was one to be avoided as they always leaked but can't remember which one it was or if I've got it confused with something else.

Could use the one that came off again then as that was a cometic gasket that has been off maybe 3 times tops. Looks fine but thought I might be an idea to change it hence asking which one was best.
